MultiAgent Based simulations are a powerful tool to explain, understand
or predict the emergent phenomena by only specifying entity level behaviors.

The Interaction Oriented Design of Agent simualtions (IODA) methodology
aims at making the design of simulations easier and more intuitive.
Instead of most existing simulation frameworks like Madkit,
Netlogo,
Repast or
Soar, which focus simulation
design mainly on agents, IODA focuses the two fundamental notions underlying
any simulation: interactions and entities.

IODA does not center design on agents anymore, but on the interactions
they perform together instead.
Thereby, the usual context, in which agents are the main elements of the simulation, is
reversed in order to focus on the interactions that occur in the system.
This has many advandages, including that :

the interactions that occur between the agents are defined by a plug'n play process;
